arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2603.23513v1 Announce Type: new Commercial AI scribes cost \$99-600 per physician per month, operate as opaque systems, and do not return data to institutional infrastructure, limiting organizational control over data governance, quality improvement, and clinical workflows. We developed Berta, an open-source modular scribe platform for AI-enabled clinical documentation, and deployed a customized implementation within Alberta Health Services (AHS) integrated with their existing Snowflake AI Data Cloud infrastructure.
